Head coach Urban Meyer told the media following the win that, following “a long discussion on the sidelines” with medical personnel, he felt the three-year starter could’ve gone back in the game but “decided it was best not to.” As for his prospects of playing on the road against Cal Saturday?

It likely won’t be until midweek, at the earliest, that any type of decision on Miller’s availability will be made.

Based on how Miller’s replacement played against the Aztecs, though, the Buckeyes have somewhat of a cushion as far as rushing the starter back onto the field. During his three-plus quarters of time on the field, senior Kenny Guiton passed for 152 yards and two touchdowns. He also led the team in rushing 83 yards while adding another score on the ground.

I guess I don’t understand how a player is healthy enough that he “could’ve gone back in the game” on Saturday, but there’s only “a chance” he’ll be healthy enough to play next week. Am I missing something?

I have a feeling tOSU has a tad bit more talent than Portland State (who got robbed last week; I watched the whole game and there were a couple game-changing bad calls by the refs).

They shouldn’t miss Braxton Miller

There as no MCL strain…he was concussed. If he said he had a concussion, he would not be allowed to return. Expect more of this.
